Maisie did not even jitter for a split second. “I believe in Nolan.”When Maisie was bringing Colton away, she thought of something, turned around, and said, “I know about Nolan’s mother. I won’t be able to forgive the de Armas if you really did such a thing.”Maisie left with Colton after saying that.Sitting in his seat, Louis looked expressionless. He said while glancing at Hernandez’s face that looked a little embarrassed, “Grandpa, if there’s nothing else that needs my attention, I’ll go back first.”“Did you text her to inform her?” Hernandez asked coldly.Louis nodded. “Yes, I didn’t know your intentions when you were searching for that child. Not to mention that Mother has said that we should keep the past in the past. Why are you still so obsessed with it?”Hernandez slammed the table and reprimanded angrily, “The Goldmanns should never be kept in the past. All of them deserve to die!”Louis could see that Hernandez could not let go of his prejudice against the Goldmann
Maisie met his smiling eyes and played along. “Since my husband wants to stay for dinner, then we’ll just stay back for a meal.”The three rugrats could not help but feel bothered.‘Eww, that’s disgusting!’During dinner, the maid stood by them and served the dishes.Nolan had never come back for dinner ever since he moved out, so tonight was the first time he came back for a meal.The three rascals sat beside their parents and gobbled up their food as if a three Michelin-starred restaurant chef had prepared the dinner.Titus could see that the kids had not been so diligent while eating their food during normal days.‘Sure enough, they’re very happy when their parents are around.’“Ahem, since you’ve come back, you should just move back in,” Titus suggested.Nolan raised his eyes and then said lightly, “It’s inconvenient, as we’re planning to conceive another child.”Maisie’s hands trembled, and she stared at him in surprise.Not to mention her, even Titus was surprised. “Yo
“Yeah, this little fella digs holes in the dirt of the flowerbed outside every day, making himself dirty. Hence, I can only give him a bath every three or five times.”“Woof!” Reddy stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, staring at Maisie with its brown eyes as if it liked her very much.Stephen put down his teacup and said, “This fella was abandoned by its original owner. I saw it wandering on the road pitifully and brought it back.“I brought it to the veterinary hospital for a checkup, and this little fella is in good health apart from some gastrointestinal discomfort, not any skin diseases. The original owner probably abandoned it because they couldn’t keep it.”Maisie rubbed the fur on its head.‘No wonder kids like it. This furry little cutie is really addicting.’“Zee, what brought you here all of a sudden?”Maisie put the dog down, walked up to the couch, and sat down. “The renovation of Vaenna is almost done, so I’m here to ask you. If you’re still willing to take
Maisie smiled awkwardly.‘This girl is so simple-minded that she’s adorable.’At this time, a female staff member knocked on the door in a panic, came in, and reported, “Ms. Zora, a menacing couple is creating a stir outside, looking for you!”“Looking for me?” Maisie was flustered, then got up and followed her out to take a look, while Cherie followed behind them.“Get the one who’s in charge of this place out here, did you hear me!?” The woman and man clamoring outside were both in their 40s and 50s, respectively. Although they did not look filthy rich, they seemed well-off.Maisie stepped forward and asked, “Are the two of you looking for me?”The woman took a glance at her and responded, “We’re Wynona’s parents.”As soon as she said that, Maisie and Cherie’s expressions looked obviously surprised.Maisie smiled. “So it turns out to be Mr. and Mrs. Winters. Why don’t we go into a room for a chat?”“Hmph! There’s no need to go into a room to chat. We’ll talk about it here to
“Secondly, Wynona had used multiple means to persecute me in the training camp and even tried to frame me. I had already let these things slide.“And thirdly, the cause of Wynona’s death is very strange. The police are still investigating whether it was a suicide or a homicide case.“But if you want to push all the blame onto me, I can only ask you to hire a lawyer before you talk to me again. Of course, you may not get the result that you want if you bring the matter to court. And because this has nothing to do with me, I’m a victim just like the deceased. Thus, if this matter is being forced onto me, then I’ll definitely not take the blame without defending myself.“ Maisie spoke loudly, and everyone heard her clearly.‘She wouldn’t be so confident if she was really involved in this matter.’Mrs. Winters was obviously astonished and did not know what to say for a while.Mr. Winters comforted his wife in embarrassment, “Oh my, we still have to discuss the matter with them politely
“Why don’t you compensate me for emotional damage, then I’ll compensate for your loss?”“You—”Mrs. Winters chocked. Why was it so hard to deal with this person?“Nobody’s money fell from the sky. Everyone earned it. Do you think you could get money out of me from your daughter’s passing?”Maisie’s face darkened, and she didn’t sound courteous. “If you want trouble, go ahead, I’m not afraid, but I won’t be responsible for the consequences. Now that I’m being extorted, if I still keep quiet, people are going to think that they can walk over me. I’m not stupid.”She turned to Cherie and said, “Send them out.”Cherie nodded. “Sure.”Cherie walked to the two of them and said, “I’m sorry, please leave if you’re done making a scene so that you don’t feel humiliated.”She was worried about the two people and their dignity if they were shamed in public.The Winters couple wasn’t happy, but there was nothing they could say, so they left.Cherie walked them to the door and went back to
A lot of netizens went to Maisie’s Twitter to question her about his, but some of them thought that the couple was just trying to ride her fame. The hype of Maisie and Nolan getting registered was still recent, so the couple must have come out and accused Maisie of being behind their daughter’s death.“Do you think Ms. Vanderbilt really caused someone’s death?”“We shouldn’t come to conclusions so quickly. Didn’t you notice that any news about Ms. Vanderbilt would be proven false after a few days?”“What if it’s true this time?”A few employees were having a discussion when Maisie showed up. They had heard that Ms. Vanderbilt had slapped Ms. Summers because she ‘spread rumors’, and Mr. Goldmann had just let her do it. With that as a precedent, no one would dare say anything out of line anymore.Cherie followed Maisie and heard the discussion. “Don’t worry, Maisie. Mr. Goldmann said that he will take care of this.”Maisie turned to look at her and said in a whisper. “Cherie, I nee
“Someone is coming, let me go this one time—”Maisie ‘begged’ him gently, her beautiful face and pretty eyes mesmerizing.Nolan’s heart melted. How dare this woman start a fire and beg him to stop? No one could handle that.He took a deep breath and hugged her. “Don’t move, let me hug you.”Maisie didn’t dare to move because she knew that Nolan was holding himself back. If she moved, he might lose it. “Are you done?”There was only silence.“Nolan, can I tell you a joke? I promise that you’ll calm down.”She heard ‘OK’ from behind her, with a hint of curiosity in his voice. “A cube of sugar was walking toward the North Pole, and when it got there, it felt really cold and was frozen solid, so it became rock sugar.”Nolan was rendered speechless. The woman excitedly continued. “I have another one. A cabbage started to strip while it walked, and after a few steps, it disappeared!”Nolan immediately lowered his head and kissed her lips to stop her from talking. “Maisie, I
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
